July 5th, 2011

Fourth of July this year was very quite for us. Due to the Monument Fire, and the dryness of our area, Fireworks were off limits this year. I honestly didn't mind. After the fire scare I was ok with that.

Mom and I spent the afternoon together as Justin was at work.We sorted through all the Preemie, Newborn, and 0-3 Month clothing we've gotten so far. Then we went to dinner,a shopping run, got yogurt and even cruised the park to see what was going on. they had huge screens up showing a movie on one and fire works on another and even had a band and vendors. Very nice, but we never got off the car.

As the babies (or as mom calls the "Cupcakes") get bigger, there's less I can do comfortably. Walking for too long is one. My lower back hurts very much. I have to sit and take breaks often. The pelvis pain is getting worse, thankfully the most I feel it is when I move around in bed and getting in and out of bed or off the couch. It hasn't added to the back pain when I walk and that's a relief. The reflux is getting worse, and it takes me while to get comfortable enough to sleep. But all and all I'd take these minor issue over any Major ones any day!

Today was our 29 week check up with DR Silva. I forgot to ask what my weight was today, and the nurse and doctor said nothing, so I'm hoping that means I gained a pound or two. The nurse had a hard time finding the babies heartbeats, but once she did they were both 136. Yay they are within the normal range and not far off from previous ones.

DR Silva came in moments later to measure my belly and said, "Well, your getting bigger!" Yep, figured that one out since I'm having trouble with my shirts staying down to cover the tummy now. He let me know all seemed well with the Cupcakes and next appointment will be in 2 weeks. He let me know it was time to start doing the stress test and had me speak to the hospital nurse to schedule my first one. The first one was for today at one.

Driving is now off limits as my tummy touches the steering wheel already. So Justin dropped me off at mom's today before work so she could take me to the hospital for the NST. Thank goodness for mom she's been driving me around now while Justin's at work. The testing only took about 30 minutes, and I think we found Baby A again on the left side. She's an active baby. This nurse had a hard time too finding their heartbeats, but once she found baby B she only had to do it once. Baby B has always been the calmer one. Baby A gave the nurse a hard time and for a while there the monitor found her heart beat steady, but she doesn't stay in one place. The monitor was going from -- to 170 to 64 to 135 in seconds as Baby A moved around. This whole time Baby B was consistent between 129-140. After the first 15 minutes the nurse came back to check on me and had to relocate Baby A and her heart beat which was now way off to my left side. She's gonna be like her Daddy a trouble maker. Lol. All went well though, so I'm happy. The stress tests will be every Tuesday and Friday from now on.
